Meet Hu-Friedy

At first thought, the connection between a breast cancer organization and a dental manufacturing company seems as odd as a snowstorm in the desert, but with closer examination, it becomes apparent that health advocacy is a strong tie that binds Breast Cancer Network of Strength, the dental community and Hu-Friedy together.

For nearly 100 years, Hu-Friedy has strived to create instruments that produce quality results, allowing dental professionals to focus on their patient’s needs with greater attention and peace of mind. Fortunately, quality comes through experience. Twenty one Hu-Friedy professionals have that special experience as registered dental hygienists and dentists, and it was their unique insight to the instrument design process that brought the latest addition to the EverEdge technology product line, the Breast Cancer Network of Strength Curette.

The Breast Cancer Network of Strength Curette features a distinctive anterior curette design with precise modifications to increase access and reach, perfect for challenging debridement needs of anterior teeth, furcations, line angles and pedodontic dentition. With the 70 degree face of a Gracey, dual cutting blades of a universal curette, and contra angled shank design, the Breast Cancer Network of Strength Curette combines efficiency, function and the ability to make a difference. For each Breast Cancer Network of Strength Curette sold, Hu-Friedy will make a corporate contribution to Breast Cancer Network of Strength, helping those touched by breast cancer.

The development of the Breast Cancer Network of Strength Curette was fueled by the desire to make an impact clinically and to touch the lives of others. Hu-Friedy found the opportunity to partner with Breast Cancer Network of Strength a perfect way to promote awareness, for breast cancer and overall health, through dental professionals. Breast Cancer Network of Strength’s mission is to ensure, through information, empowerment and peer support, that no one faces breast cancer alone. Breast Cancer Network of Strength has the only YourShoes 24/7 Breast Cancer Support Center staffed entirely by trained breast cancer survivors who are trained to provide information and support to anyone touched by breast cancer, with interpreters in 150 languages.

In addition to the new Breast Cancer Network of Strength Curette, Hu-Friedy’s #100 Thin Swivel Direct Flow ultrasonic insert has been selected as the “Breast Cancer Network of Strength spokes-instrument” for the ultrasonic product line. This insert features the unique benefits of 360o rotation and proudly displays the Breast Cancer Network of Strength ribbon logo. Once again, Hu-Friedy will make a corporate contribution for all sales tied to the 25kHz or 30kHz #100 Thin Swivel Direct Flow insert.
